Recently, the development of information technology (IT) continues to promote the digitalization of archives (valuable records) and has therefore, affected archiving centers. This digitalization is shown to these archiving centers by taking advantages of various digital exhibitions. This study aims to consider why it is necessary to use digital exhibitions in archiving centers. In order to examine the needs of digital exhibitions, this study focuses on some ideas and important roles in digital exhibitions and research cases of online exhibitions applied with digital technology. Consequently, this study derives some values from them. Digital exhibitions held online continuously provide the following; first, a great amount of information about the archives by using hyperlink; second, the ability to recreate the attractive contents of digitalized archives by utilizing virtual reality, which makes the users greatly interested; the third and final thing online digital exhibitions provide is the storytelling it provides, which also serves as an avenue for people to communicate with one another. These processes of communication are also reflected in the story. In addition, they can help publicize not only the archiving center, but also the local community as it promotes cultural and tourism resources.
The archives preservation chamber is an equipment that is able to store important archives with air-cleaning and isothermal-isohumidity control functions to permanently store archives in a highly safe environment. The chamber can only store small amounts of archives but it is crucial for organizations preserving archives to economically store a variety of archives, be it a medium or a small amount of documents. An arm of this study researches the current preservation status of the local record center to determine the need for such a chamber. In addition, in order to improve the air-cleaning and isothermal-isohumidity functions, the researchers of this study have conducted analyses to design the core parts. The preservation chamber that had been designed includes an archives preservation area, air-cleaning equipment, and environment measurement equipment. A preservation chamber is used to preserve small amounts of important archives safely. Thus, when a local record center is preserving various types of archives in small or medium quantities in a stack room, the preservation chamber can be used to aid their long-term preservation.
The president of the country has a very significant political role, but the study of the history about the presidency has not really been emphasized. This study is to examine how to apply the online contents about presidential history to elementary education. The documentaries presented in elementary social studies have a great effect on elementary students because their cognitive development is accelerated by understanding modern Korean history along with the presidential history and political issues through historical records. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating the method of application of the presidential history by having the presidential historian build online contents and provide this information to teachers and students.
The study is aimed at providing alternative strategies for the National Archives Assembly organization and the job. As a theoretical background, it reviewed the history of the National Archives Assembly’s records management organization and analyzed duties of a permanent records management institution based on the “Standard Operating Procedure for Archival Institutions.” Moreover, this study discussed the National Archives Assembly’s current organizational status and surveyed jobs of the National Assembly Archives staff. As a result, for the organization area, it suggested that the National Assembly should reappoint its permanent records management institution, establish records centers, and reassign the management authority on the Memorial Center to the National Archives Assembly. Furthermore, the study provided a reorganization plan. For the job area, it argued a necessity for expanding the job domain and reinforcing professional manpower. In line with this, it provided duties that were customized for the reorganization plan.
Many hospitals introduce the electronic medical record systems (EMRS) to implement a digital type of hospital. However, there are various problems in managing and preserving medical records. Systems, such as OCS, PACS, and EMR, are independently operated without formal standards related to medical records management. To manage medical records effectively, distributed medical records including paper- and electronic-type should be managed in an integrated manner. With its analysis of the current status in the management of medical records of J University Hospital, this study proposes methods to solve the problems extracted from the results of the analysis, and a management model for an integrated medical records management based on the process of records management of ISO 15489.
While academic discussions and methodological researches on oral history are being progressed in Korea, its exploitation has already begun to increase with a variety of methods and approaches in the private sector. Oral history is a new method of research, as well as another process of production of archives. In order to make valuable and highly qualified archives of oral history with the application of the aforementioned conditions and characteristics, its recognition, environment, process, and method should be improved and developed. From this point of view, it is regarded as reasonable that oral history is recognized as a part of the strategy for documentation. Oral history should be produced based on common sense and reasonable judgment, applying empirical know-how rather than logic or principles because it holds a great number of characteristics, which include variable elements in the field of oral history. In addition, its process or documentation methods should be improved and developed, giving consideration to thorough exploitation. The promotion or revitalization of oral history is a signal that announces the advent of new archives and the new subjects of history at the same time. Endeavors to produce highly efficient archives of oral history are expected to be continued with the complex accumulation of empirical assets achieved at academic discussions and its fields.
This study traces the evolution of the compilation of foreign relations of the United States series and analyzes its archival issues from its historical development. The study examines the purposes of publishing the compilations of the diplomatic documents, an issue of making a balance between secrecy for national security and accountability of diplomacy, neutrality in compiling historical materials, and methods and principles of the compilation. To analyze these records issues, the study examines the contents and contexts of the compilation, historical evolution of the compilation, and the political and records issues of the compilation in the U.S. political history. The declassification issue for the historical compilation was also examined because the issue was a major obstacle to the timely publication of FRUS.
This paper introduces the elaboration of official documents, archival organizations, and the tradition of records in Mongolia from 1694 to 1921. Modern records management began in 1912. Back then, Mongolians had special rules to send and receive official documents, and to register the sent and received official documents. Official documents were used to deliver decrees and policies of the Khan and were used to deal with internal affairs. After their independence in 1911, the traditional documents were collected and preserved. Records managers and archivists were trained by decrees in Mongolia.
Since 2008, the General Archives Authority of Mongolia introduced management standards on international records, such as ISO 15489. GAAM translated the international standards and have trained government records managers with such standards. These international records management standards are also incorporated into the Mongolian records legislations and records management guidance. Complying with the standards are also the requirements for designing records management software in Mongolia.
